Toledo Police Take Custody Of Confidence Man.

A trail of legal battles and international extraditions stretching from Paris, France, through the British Empire and the United States today had ended in the Courtroom of Superior | Judge Joseph Williams here. Stewart Donnelly, international confidence man who has lived in Indianapolis most of his life, today was in| Toledo, O. after a spectacular courtroom arrest. Participating in the activities incident to- his arrest were Governor Townsend, Police Chief Morrissey, Sheriff Ray, Municipal Judge Charles Karabell, Prosecutor Herbert M.

TAX RATE SEEN

Board to Consider Budget But Not Stetson Successor Tuesday.

Salary Increases and Drop In Receipts Responsible, Boyd Says.

Alan W. Boyd, School Board president, 1937-38 School City tax levy would be approximately the same as this year’s $1.07 rate, but the building program would be curtailed by salary raises and present and anticipated = deficits estimated at $450,000.

the budget at Tuesday night's meeting, but is not to name a successor to Superintendent Paul C. Stetson at that time. , Mr. Boyd said: “We want to look over the field before appointing a successor to Mr. Stetson. We want to get a man of the same standing and caliber as the late superintendent and to see some younger men.” Hint Local Man Considered

Observers indicated an Indianap--olis man is being considered. Those mentioned were DeWitt S. Morgan, Technical High School principal; William A. Hacker, assistant superintendent, and K. V. Ammerman, Broad Ripple High School principal. The Board believes only a $275,000 addition to Crispus Attucks High School can be built under next year’s budget, it was said. It originally planned additions at Technical and Broad Ripple High Schools. Because the State Tax Board requires that money be appropriated before it can be spent, the Schcol City is required to budget for the last half of 1937 before the end of the fiscal year July 1. NN

Deficit Set at $250,000

Mr. Boyd said the Board, for this reason, intended to budget for the entire fiscal year ending July 1, 1938. The present deficit of approximately $250,000, Mr. Boyd said, is due to a $50,000 reduction in tax receipts, and the fact that the tax levy asked by the Board in the last budget was cut from $1.11 to $1.07 by tax reviewing bodies. If adopted Tuesday night, the budget rust be advertised and a public hearing held. .

NEAL'S SALARY GETS COUNTY’S APPROVAL

The - $877.75 salary, claim of Thomas Neal, Marion County Welfare Director, was approved by the County = Commissioners. It now awaits the approval of the County Auditor's office. Mr. Neal's salary claim has been in dispute since March 12, when he was appointed to succeed Joel A. Baker, ousted by the Legislature.

The Marion County Welfare Board, which appointed Joel Baker, resigned when the State threatened mandamus action after the Board's refusal to pay Mr. Neal's. salary. The new Board has approved the salary claim.

LINDBERGH BACKS TESTS OF ROCKET Looks 0 Experiments to Fix Speed in Air.’

By United Press

WORCESTER, Mass., June 5.—

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in a let-

ter read here today said Dr. Robert H. Goddard’s rocket experiment “may have far-reaching effects on the future of civilization.” “From the standpoint of commerce,” Col. Lindbergh said in the letter read by President Wallace W. Atwood at Clark University’s commencement exercises, “We must look to the rocket if we hope to attain speeds of transport above a few hundred miles an hour. . . . “From the standpoint of war, we must consider the fact that rockets may carry explosives faster than the airplane and farther than the proJectile.” "Col. Lindbergh’s long-time friend, Dr. Goddard, returned here recently after rocket experiments at Roswell, N. M. f® : The letter, written in England four weeks ago, said in part: + “In an unguarded moment (a rocket enthusiast) might prophesy that we eventually will travel at speeds governed only by the acceleration which the human body can stand, and that in rocketting between America and Europe we will accelerate halfway across the ocean and decelerate during the other half. Or, he might even point his rocket toward another planet and, without regard to fuel supply, landing facilities, or Professor Goddard, lose himself in interstellar space.”

Widely Known Grand Hotel |

Of Taggart-Grant-Riley | Days Will Be Replaced By Auto Parking Lot.

With the ghosts of Indiana’s greats as a frowning audience out of the past, workmen are going to tear down the old Grand Hotel. One of the last reminders of the glamorous social life of Indianapolis’ Gay Nineties, it is to be replaced by a parking lot at the southeast corner of Maryland and

J. S. Holliday, of the W.:S. Holliday Co., has announced! tenta-

tive plans for the razing. The Holliday company is the present owner.’ : The old Grand was built in 1873. And it was in its prime in the early Nineties, says Lafe D. Weathers, 2540 Guilford Ave. Mr. Weathers ought to know. He managed the hostelry 15 years and owned it for 12: he is generally conceded to know more zbout the place than anyone in town.

“Best in It's Day”

He says the Grand Hotel was tops in its heyday. “There was none better in town,” he beams. He compares it to the old Deni-

son, which also was razed a few years ago. The analogy is closer than is| first apparent. Until Tom Taggart, (former Democratic national committeeman from Indiana, moved his Democratic headquarters to the Denison, he quartered them in the Grand, which he owned for a time. Both hotel sites soon will be filled with parking lots. The Grand was built during the reconstruction times that followed the Civil War, Rutherford B.| Hayes had followed Gen. Ulysses S. Grant into the White House only a couple of years before the Grand rose on S. Illinois St.—the levee of

the old days. Grant Visits Hotel

After leaving the presidency, Gen. Grant took a trip to California. ' He stopped in Indianapolis— at the Grand, Standing on a balcony overlooking the Illinois St. entrance, the general addressed a throng of Indianapolis citizens who cheered from the street below. But, savs Mr. Weathers, President Grant was only one of many notables whose names are identified with the old hotel.
